Do you host giveaways on your blog? Ever get frustrated as you try to figure out exactly which of your readers left the 55th (or whatever) comment on your giveaway post????

I recently stumbled upon simple instructions for how to number comments on Blogger. This advanced tip requires that you dive into the HTML of your template, so make sure you try it on a practice blog first, and at the very least, download a copy of your CURRENT template.

Be warned: This tip does not allow you to customize color, size, etc, but it will give you a small number for each comment up to 200. Once you reach 200, it will start over. Basically, comment #201 will become #1. So, you'll have two #1's, but they are still in order. Comment 214 will be 14 and so on and so on. I didn't find it too difficult to figure out. :)

I've heard that some people have trouble with this tip if they have their comments enabled to show profile pics beside the comments. If you have trouble, I would just turn the photos off and try again.

Even with a few glitches, I think this is sooooooo much better than counting and recounting all of those comments!!!!

Like my tips? Want to share them with your readers? I would LOVE for you to do so by grabbing my button and displaying it on your blog or by writing a post about my tips. Please do not copy and paste my tips into a post on your own blog. Thanks so much for spreading the word!
